A very light, upright slab serif with fine hairline strokes and small, bracketed rectangular serifs. The letterforms are calmly proportioned with moderate x-height, open counters, and generous interior space that keeps the texture airy. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay crisp and minimally flared, producing an even, understated rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where a light, elegant slab serif can add structure without heavy emphasis. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a calm, classic typographic voice, especially at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is quiet and traditional, leaning toward a literary, editorial feel rather than display drama. Its thin weight and restrained detailing read as refined and polite, suggesting formality without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as a versatile, traditional slab serif with a refined, lightweight presence—bringing the dependable clarity of a workhorse serif while keeping the page color bright and unobtrusive.
The design maintains consistent spacing and steady vertical stress, with a clear, oldstyle-leaning text flavor in the lowercase while keeping the capitals clean and composed. Numerals match the lightness and simplicity of the letters, contributing to a cohesive, disciplined appearance.
